I started leaking colostrum around 34 ish weeks with DS. I've noticed some crusties occasionally already with this one. Pregnancy is so freaking lovely.
But, yeah, dS2 quit nursing cold turkey in August. Got pregnant again in January. Had random leaks in the in-between. Have had noticeable colostrum since 12ish weeks. Now I have actual milk- 31w.
I even had leaking boobs tonight when a baby on the TV cried. I sat there laughing and remembering 'oh yes that happens every time a baby cries around me from now on'.

Yep, me too. For the whole second trimester so far. Midwife says it's normal. At my BFing class they told me that I could practice hand expression during pregnancy and may be able to get a few drops out. (They suggested doing this because hand expression is apparently a useful skill and can speed up pumping and help you deal with clogged ducts... So many fun things in store, lol.)

Get out! A baby's cry induces this? Crazy.
And I'm also in the boat of "this hasn't happened to me yet" and was a little concerned. Guess I'll just keep waiting, it's early yet.

It can happen and does happen to me. Anytime a baby cries, and it does not have to be my own baby, my boobs would leak. It seems to have started this time already, last time it only started after my son had been born. The scary part is that my boobs had milk in them until DS was 3 years old, and I stopped nursing when he was 16 months old.
